Polymeric Self Adhesive Vinyl Glossy 100 Micron 

For Solvent Based Piezo Ink Jet & Electrostatic Printing

Description

PV 100-140GBF is white, vinyl film with a luster finish. It has excellent hiding powers.

• It is Pressure-activated adhesive for easy sliding, tacking, snap up and repositioning
• Flexible; conforms to compound curves, corrugations and rivets
• It has adhesive air release channels for fast, easy, bubble-free installations
• The air release channels are non-visible and have improved air release
• Removable with heat and/or chemicals

Applications and End Uses

• Indoor and outdoor graphics and signs, including point-of-purchase and displays
• Commercial vehicles, straight trucks, semi-trucks and semi-trailers; emblems or striping
• Bus graphics
• Personal vehicle graphics and wraps
• Non-vertical and horizontal vehicle wraps
•  Watercraft graphics (above the static water line only)
• Small format original equipment manufacturers (OEM) decorative and identification graphics, cautionary and safety labeling

Maintenance and Cleaning

Use a cleaner designed for high-quality painted surfaces. The cleaner must be wet, non-abrasive, without strong solvents, and have a pH value between 3 and 11 (neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline.)

Edge Sealing

Vehicle, indoor and outdoor graphics. These films may require edge sealing. Applications such as rail cars may benefit from using edge sealer or edge tape when subject to external sources such as abrasion and/or power-washing.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Use a cleaner designed for high-quality painted surfaces. The cleaner must be wet, non-abrasive, without strong solvents, and have a pH value between 3 and 11 (neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline).

Shelf Life

1. Total shelf life: 3 years from the date of manufacture on the original box.
2. If you do process the film, do so within 2 years and apply within 1 year.
3. If you do not process the film, apply it within 3 years.

Pressure Activated Adhesive

• The pressure-activated adhesive on this film offers:
  • Smooth sliding into position on a substrate;
  • Fast finger tacking to check position; and
  • Easy snap up and repositioning when you need it.
• The snap up and reposition feature is lost:
• When firm pressure with a squeegee or other application tool is applied.
• If any part of the film is removed from the original liner and reapplied to the same or another liner.
• Solvent from inkjet ink has not completely dried or cured, which affects both slide ability and snap up.

• At application temperatures above 100°F (38°C) even if only light finger pressure was used for tacking.

Working with Air Release Channels

Air release channels are a characteristic of films with Comply adhesive.

• The channels will be damaged and effective air removal affected if you remove and attempt to change liners or reapply the same liner.
• For the best results, always work from the center out to the edges of the graphic to allow trapped air to exit through the air release channels. If the channels are closed off by firm pressure and air is trapped, use an air release tool to aid in removing air bubbles.

Removal

Removal requires heat and/or chemicals. The ease and rate of removal depends on a number of factors. A chemical remover system is available for graphics printed with solvent based ink.
